You can be as outraged as anyone over the loss of human life and still be absolutely digusted with what this guy did - they're not mutually exclusive.

This is the outdoor board and thus outdoor/wildlife topics are covered. There is no sense in bringing up abortion in this thread at all and nobody has said the lives of these two birds were more valuable than human life (which is good, b/c they're not).

The outrage is the destruction and killing of a very precious and fragile piece of wildlife that a lot of time and money have been invested into. There are only so many and then they're gone forever.

Don't waste your breath. You can't change the minds of the "You can't kill a bird, but you can kill a baby" people. They will never understand that the two are not the same, will NEVER be the same, and that a person can, in fact, believe that both are wrong.

I challenge anyone who thinks it is a joke that this is punishable and abortion is not to answer this question: IF this punk had killed a deer or duck out of season, would you still feel he should not be punished?
